4.15.15: Pecilunas throws from a high three-quarters slot and has a short, loose, quick arm that generates easy velocity. His shoulders are closed and he lands a bit open, leading to a slight fall off as he finishes. Pecilunas’ fastball touched 82 in the first inning, and settled in at 79-81, which he held through the fifth inning. The pitch had slight, late run to it. He threw a fading change-up with decent armspeed that ran 75-76. Pecilunas’ slider was tight and had gradual 11/5 spin, sitting 68-69. As he develops and his velocity increases, his slider projects to become an outstanding pitch.
